[Sam is boxing up 8-track tapes for storage]
Madeline Westen : You're not packin' my Ice Babies, are you?
Sam Axe : Uh, no, Maddie, those are staying behind.

Sam Axe : Come on, now. I thought we were past all that.
Madeline Westen : We are. I was just pulling your chain. Ha!

Michael Westen : [narrative] When you're extracting a heavily guarded target, it's important to choose the right entry point. Guards watch windows and doors... so if you come in through the common wall of a neighboring apartment, you've got surprise on your side, not to mention a shower of shattered concrete.
[Michael listens to the wall]
Sam Axe : What is it, Mike?
Michael Westen : It's a little too quiet in there.
Michael Westen : [looks to window] And a little too quiet out there, too.
Michael Westen : [narrative] Of course, surprise doesn't count for much if you're walking into a trap.
Sam Axe : [of what he sees out the window] Looks like Vega decided to crash the party.
Mack : [at the door] Hey, we've got guys coming up the stairs.
Michael Westen : I hope you brought enough rope, Sam.
[window blows out]
Michael Westen : [narrative] Traditional rappelling requires holding a rope with both hands, which is inconvenient if you're being shot at. That's why Special Forces are trained to rappel in unconventional ways.
